Faculty Position at Oregon State University
Experimental Optics in Biophysics
The Physics Department at Oregon State University invites applications for a full time, 9-month, tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level, with an anticipated start date of Sept 16, 2013. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in physics or a related area. We recently hired a theorist and an experimentalist in biophysics, and we are continuing the expansion of our programs in experimental optics and biophysics. We are looking for individuals with a strong background in one or both of these areas, and whose future research plans integrate both fields. The successful candidate is expected to teach physics effectively at the lower division, upper division, and graduate levels. The standard teaching load for research active faculty members is one course per term. We are particularly interested in candidates who can participate in interdisciplinary projects with other scientists throughout the university and through institutes such as ONAMI, CGRB, and the Linus Pauling Institute.
Oregon State University, which has the top Carnegie Research University classification of RU/VH (very high research activity), is a Land Grant institution and has strong programs in the physical sciences, the life sciences, and engineering.
